A huge broad funnel-shaped hopper-like device that's designed to fit down over-top of a basketball hoop, and to catch virtually all the shots so that they'll go through the hoop.
A standard hoop-skirt is made from heavy canvas or other thick easily-visible material, and is just a novelty/gag item that's intended to merely cause observers to snicker and roll their eyes as they watch the players score a hoop almost every time (similar to when a backyard jokester uses lengths of stove-pipe for guiding the ball when playing croquet). "Specialty" or "stealth" models of hoop-skirt are available, too, though --- they are made from ultra-transparent and non-reflective material in order to be virtually undetectable, and can be used to help "level the playing field" during actual team-competition games; they allow the less-capable/practiced side to increase their chances of beating --- or at least scoring a lot closer to --- their better-skilled opponents.

(1) To insert a high note or series of high notes, during a special time in a gospel song - either during a music break or at the end of a leader's solo/lead in a fast last paced song; using vibrato - usually sang by a mean ole soprano but can be sang by anyone. (Great hopsel choirs usually have about 2-3 tenors that can hit the high notes as well)
(2) When a preacher begins to get deep in his/her sermon that he/she often begins to growl, take heavy deep breaths in between statements (also called a tune-up)

(1) "Did you hear that tenor hit that high hoop at the end of that verse?! It was perfect! Sound like James Hall and WAP's tenors."
(2) "Rev. Smith started hooping and tore up the church....tuned up the whole song!"
